Ode to Final Exam Week


Dearest final exam week,

Thou hast stirred our slumbering turkey brains.
In the midst of feasting, we may have forgotten thee,
But thou hast comest with blazing speed
To overtake our reveries.

Thoughts of pie and mashed potatoes
Are now again replaced with urine samples,
Auscultation, palpation, bed pans…
Ah but final exam week, thou shalt soon be defeated.

Though you may take our sleep,
Thou will not take our freedom.
Come a week’s time,
Thou shall be vanquished.

At least until May.
